The day of the duel at Hogwarts

The written examination has always been a bit boring. Except for a Hufflepuff being caught using an automatic quill, there were no other surprises during the period.

Among the seven main subjects, the written examinations of Potions and Transfiguration are the most difficult, followed by Charms and Herbalism. The rest of the examinations are basically very simple. Although they are not as scripted, they are most difficult. Most of the answers can be found in textbooks. For people like Sean who can memorize textbooks quickly, it is not really difficult.

On the other hand, Blaise's other subjects were pretty good, and he was confident that he could pass. However, for the exams of Potions and Transfiguration, Blaise was really not confident. Between the end of the written exam and the beginning of the practical exam, He kept sighing.

"Brace, don't sigh. Part of the final grade is composed of the scores of the operational exam. If your score in the operational exam can be high enough, it can make up for the lack of your written exam score. There should be no big problem if you pass."

Hearing Sean's words, Blaise immediately regained his strength and said with confidence: "If it is an operational test, then I will be worthy. I am indeed not very good at the written test, but I am absolutely confident in the actual operation."

"Okay, we're going to take the exam soon. The first one is Professor Flitwick's Charms. He's easier to talk to. If the exam doesn't go well, say something nice and try again."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Seeing that Blaise was confident, Sean didn't say much and quietly followed the team into the magic classroom for the operational test.

The test involved having a pineapple tap dance across a desk.

To do this, you need the cooperation of multiple magics. If you just muddle along on weekdays, it will be difficult to complete the exam. Generally speaking, as long as you can make the pineapple walk across the desk, you have passed the exam. If you can make the pineapple jump, If you tap dance, you will get good results. If Pineapple can perform a standard tap dance, you will get full marks.

Among the first-year Slytherin wizards, except for Goyle and Crabbe, who had a little difficulty, they just used magic to drag the pineapple from one side to the other. Most of the other Slytherin wizards could get good scores.

Sean was the last one to take the exam in Slytherin. In front of him was Blaise, whose performance was just okay. According to Sean's estimation, he could probably get a grade of around E, which is a grade above passing A, which is equivalent to Shaw. Thank you for the good things in your previous life.

Blaise left the exam place and stood in front of the door at the back of the classroom waiting for Sean.

Flitwick looked at Sean with a smile on his face. Although Sean was a student of Slytherin and had a strange fight at the beginning of the school year, in the subsequent classes, Sean showed great qualities. It really made Professor Flitwick look at him. For the head of Ravenclaw House who loved knowledge, Professor Flitwick's favorite students were students like Sean who were intelligent and had a desire and respect for knowledge.

"Sean, let me see what kind of dance you can make this pineapple do."

Taking out his wand, Sean bowed slightly to Flitwick and said, "As you wish, Professor."

With a tap of the wand, the pineapple immediately seemed to come alive, spinning around on the table, tap dancing from side to side, and walking little by little towards the other side of the table like a real dancer.

At this time, Sean was like the conductor of a band. The magic wand in his hand was the baton, guiding Pineapple to the other side of the table, and finally spun it several times as the end of the dance.

When the dance ended, Professor Flitwick immediately clapped his hands and said: "A very perfect tap dance, very perfect, very standard magic. I think there is no doubt about your score Sean, it represents an outstanding O, a perfect O!"

"Thank you Professor Flitwick."

"This is what you deserve."

Hufflepuff behind Slytherin, Sean did not look at their results, but left the Charms classroom with Blaise directly. After all, there were operational exams for Transfiguration and Potions later, and Sean didn't want to waste time. .

The Transfiguration test is to turn a mouse into a snuff box. This test is as difficult as the written test. It is a very difficult operational test for first-year wizards, so Professor McGonagall’s evaluation The standard is not high either. As long as the mouse can be turned into a rough snuff box, even if there is still a beard or tail on the snuff box, and there are some mouse hairs on the surface of the snuff box, it will be considered a pass.

Therefore, as long as you put a little effort into the Transfiguration Technique, you can more or less pass the exam.

Of course, the difficulty of this exam is also determined. It is not easy to get the highest score of O. Many students who perform well on weekdays, such as those who also have good written test scores, cannot get the operational test. O.

Standing in the Transfiguration classroom, Blaise was gradually turning the mouse in front of him into a golden snuff box.

Sean pondered slightly, and after about a few breaths, he waved his wand and tapped the mouse in front of him.

shhhhhh...

The mouse's body rotated violently, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a sterling silver snuff box. The snuff box shone brightly and had extremely complex carvings on it. In the center of the snuff box was a fairly standard Hogwarts school emblem.

When Sean took action just now, Professor McGonagall had already walked over.

When Sean's transformation was completed, Professor McGonagall looked at Sean's successfully transformed snuff box, and a smile appeared on his serious face, saying: "It's a perfect work, full marks without any doubt."

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall looked at Sean and did not leave immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and whispered: "Sean, don't give up training on the Transfiguration after the holiday to ensure your own standards."

After saying these words, Professor McGonagall left to check other people's test results, especially about Hermione's results. Professor McGonagall wanted to take a closer look. As the best student in Gryffindor's first year, McGonagall The professor hopes that Hermione can also reach O level.

Sean looked at Professor McGonagall leaving, and suddenly understood what Professor McGonagall meant. She seemed to have the idea of ​​inviting Sean to join the Transfiguration Club, but Professor McGonagall obviously wanted to continue to see it, so she did The words that told Sean to practice more transfiguration during his vacation.

The Transfiguration exam was over, and all that was left was Potions. Sean and Blaise went to the Potions classroom together to prepare for the last and most difficult operational exam.
